Brush up on the movies
1 Children of Men (2006). Alfonso Cuarón's dystopian thriller is set in 2027 when infertility threatens the extinction of mankind, and migrants seek refuge in the United Kingdom. (Hmm.) Pablo Picasso's Guernica is in the background in a dinner party scene. Well chosen. Picasso painted his masterpiece after the 1937 bombing of Guernica town by Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy.
2 Beauty and The Beast (1991). A prince as well-read as Beast would have incredible taste in art. Look closely at the walls of his massive palace to spot the famous 17th-century painting, The Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer, outside Belle's room.
3 Isle of Dogs (2018). In Wes Anderson's stop-motion animated comedy, Japanese painter Katsushika Hokusai's iconic woodblock print The Great Wave off Kanagawa is a recurring visual motif. In the real world, it's everywhere. In the film, the waves act as a backdrop to the plot, set in a bleak future.
